Weighting of rapid traverse velocity (G129)

Syntax:
G129=..	Axis group-specific weighting of rapid traverse weighting for all axes in [%]	modal

The G129 functions can be used to change the rapid traverse velocity G00.

The feedrate can be influenced by a percentage change in the associated velocity characteristic value.

If programming takes place with G129, all axes which are not programmed or not yet programmed are set to 100%. Each further selection of these functions, irrespective of the previous programs, signifies 100%. This means, the geometrical data processing always weights the default value P-AXIS-00209 with the percentage value.

Therefore, 50% programmed twice in succession means the setting is made to 50% and not to 25%.

	Feed weighting only acts on rapid traverse NC blocks (G00). It has no effect on single axis motions e.g. homing, manual mode or independent axes.

Notice

If G129 is >100%, rapid traverse velocity is limited to the MAX value P-AXIS-00212.

If G129 = 0, rapid traverse velocity is limited to the minimum value 1µm/s.

Programming Example

Weighting of rapid traverse velocity (G129)

N10 G129 = 70	(Axis group-specific rapid traverse weighting) (Rapid traverse velocity of all axes to 70%)
N20 G00 X100 Y150	(Linear interpolation, rapid traverse motion with 70%)
Special feature:
N50 G129 = 70 X10 Y20	(With G129 in the same block, axis positions) (can also be programmed!
